Residence Life at Averett University is committed to “Learning Beyond the Classroom.” Our residence halls are dedicated to education, personal growth, and diversity. We encourage our residents to develop positive living/learning communities and responsible self-determination. We house upper class and first year students together in several of our residence halls so that living/learning may be enhanced by experiential diversity. Most of the residence halls are set up to accommodate two students per room, encouraging the personal growth that comes from having a roommate. A limited number of single rooms are available in the traditional halls for students willing to pay the single room fee of $200.00 per semester. A Resident Assistant staffs each floor. All Averett residence halls and buildings are non-smoking.
